Large-format broadside, 55 x 39.5 cm with Bishop Denhoff’s arms printed in red-and-black and text in two columns. Unrecorded broadside containing 15 numbered edicts authored by the Bishop of Cesena detailing a remarkably precise set of rules regarding the use of the Parlatorio, and regulating in granular detail the communications of the nuns with the outside world. Given its format and subject matter, it is possible to imagine at the broadside was displayed on the wall of the Parlatorio itself, or elsewhere in – or perhaps on the outer wall of – a convent.
